Telegram channel “Rybar” informed that today early in the southern part of the Black Sea, the Russian reconnaissance ship of project 18280 “Ivan Khurs” was attacked by three marine drones.

According to the telegram channel, the attack happened at about 05:30 after the Ivan Khurs had passed the Bosphorus. Three maritime drones 40 nautical miles north of the strait tried to sink a Russian reconnaissance ship, but failed to do so.

“The attack was successfully repelled, according to initial reports, the ship did not receive any damage,” Rybar reports.

On the opinion that it could be an attempt to disrupt the grain deal in the tg-channel, they wrote that the motive was not like that. If the goal was only to disrupt, then the ship would be attacked within the sea corridor.
